AfterFrench & Double Doors in Doral, FL
Installing French or double doors in Doral typically costs between $2,800 and $6,500 depending on the material, impact rating requirements, and existing frame condition. We provide precise, written estimates for every project, ensuring you know exactly what your investment covers before we start. If you are looking for a reliable team to handle your Door Installation in Doral, we bring years of craft tradition to every home we visit.
French doors and double entryways serve as the focal point of a home, but in the humid, storm-prone climate of South Florida, they face specific challenges. Moisture, intense sun, and the threat of hurricanes mean your doors need to be more than just aesthetically pleasing; they must be structurally sound and properly sealed. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we understand that a door is only as good as its installation. Founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, we operate on a simple principle: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Whether you are replacing a set of dated wooden doors that have begun to warp from the humidity or upgrading to modern impact-rated systems, we ensure the fit is square and the weatherstripping is airtight.
We do not use subcontractors or temporary labor. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice. When we arrive at your Doral property, we bring manufacturer lines from reputable names like Therma-Tru, Mr-Glass, and ECO Window Systems. We provide side-by-side quotes on paper so you can see the difference in materials and performance before making a decision. Our work is backed by The Keystone Standard, which means we register both manufacturer warranty layers for you in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. If you have questions about which door style fits your home’s architecture or how to better secure your entry, call us at (386) 854-7948. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
When You Need French & Double Doors
Homeowners often wait until a door is physically failing before they call for a replacement, but in Doral, there are subtle signs of trouble that suggest it is time to act. We recommend paying attention to the following indicators:
- Binding or Rubbing Frames: If your double doors scrape against the threshold or jamb, it often indicates the frame has shifted due to foundation settling or wood rot caused by Florida humidity.
- Air Leaks and Drafts: If you can see daylight through the gap between your French doors, you are losing conditioned air and inviting humidity and insects inside, which drives up energy costs.
- Fogging Between Glass Panes: Double-paned glass units rely on a hermetic seal; if you see condensation or fogging between the layers, the seal has failed and the insulating properties are gone.
- Difficulty Locking and Securing: If you have to lift, pull, or force your door to get the deadbolt to engage, the structural integrity of the door assembly has likely been compromised.
- Outdated Aesthetics or Security: Older homes in Doral often have entryways that do not meet current impact codes; replacing these with modern impact-rated doors provides both peace of mind and potential insurance premium benefits.
- Water Intrusion During Rain: If you notice staining on the floor or baseboards near your doors after a heavy Doral rainstorm, the flashing or weatherstripping has failed, and the subfloor may be at risk of rot.
These issues are not just inconveniences; they are signs that your home’s primary barrier against the elements is failing. We encourage homeowners to address these problems early to prevent damage to the surrounding wall structure. We stand behind our work with a Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right-no paperwork, no arguing, and no fine print.
Our French & Double Doors Process
We approach every installation with the same rigor. We are not a high-volume franchise that rushes through jobs; we are a community-rooted company that plans to be in town for the next thirty years. Here is how we handle your door project:
- Initial Consultation and Measurement: We visit your home to assess the existing opening. We measure the frame, check for level and plumb, and inspect the surrounding structure for signs of water damage or rot.
- Product Selection and Comparison: We present you with specific manufacturer options, such as Therma-Tru or ECO Window Systems, based on your aesthetic preferences and budget. We explain the difference in impact ratings and energy efficiency so you can choose with confidence.
- Upfront Pricing and Agreement: You receive a clear, written quote. We do not have hidden fees or surprise line items on the final bill. We believe in a square deal, and our pricing reflects the quality of the materials and the labor required to install them correctly.
- Professional Removal and Prep: Our uniformed technicians carefully remove the old doors and inspect the rough opening. We address any minor structural issues before the new door is set, ensuring a stable foundation.
- Precision Installation: We set the door, shim it to perfection, and ensure the swing is smooth and the locking mechanisms engage without resistance. We apply high-grade sealants to prevent future water intrusion.
- Warranty Registration and Cleanup: We finish the job by cleaning up our workspace. Crucially, we register both manufacturer warranty layers for you in writing before we leave, so you have the documentation you need for your records.

French & Double Doors Pricing in Doral
Pricing for French and double doors varies based on the configuration, the glass package, and whether the installation requires structural modifications to the existing frame. Because we provide custom solutions, we do not offer one-size-fits-all pricing, but we do provide transparent estimates.
| Service Type | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Replacement (existing frame intact) | $2,800 – $4,200 |
| Impact-Rated French Doors (new construction frame) | $4,500 – $6,500+ |
| Custom Finish or Hardware Upgrades | $500 – $1,200 additional |
Please remember that these figures are general ranges. Factors such as the size of the opening, the specific manufacturer line chosen, and any necessary repairs to the surrounding stucco or drywall will impact the final total. We offer free estimates for all door projects. Call (386) 854-7948 to schedule a time for us to look at your specific needs. We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.
Is it better to repair or replace my French doors?
If the issue is limited to weatherstripping or hardware, we can often perform a repair, but if the frame is rotting, the glass seal has failed, or the door is no longer square, replacement is usually the more cost-effective long-term solution. Repairing a door that is structurally compromised is often a temporary fix that costs more over time than installing a new, properly fitted unit. Call us for an honest assessment of whether your doors have life left in them.
How long does a typical double door installation take?
Most standard double door replacements are completed in a single visit, typically taking between 4 to 8 hours depending on the complexity of the opening. We arrive prepared with the tools and materials necessary to finish the job without needing a second appointment, keeping your home secure and your schedule intact.
Do you handle the permit process for door replacements in Doral?
Yes, we manage the necessary permitting for any door installation that requires it, ensuring all work meets local building codes and hurricane safety requirements. We handle the paperwork so you do not have to worry about the regulatory side of your home improvement project.
Can you match the style of my existing doors?
We work with a wide range of manufacturers, including Mr-Glass, allowing us to source doors that match the architectural character of your home while providing modern performance. Whether you need a specific grille pattern, glass texture, or finish, we will find a solution that looks right and functions better than the original.
When you are ready to move forward, we are ready to assist. We have served local communities since 2008, and we operate with the understanding that our reputation is built one door at a time. Call (386) 854-7948 today to get your free estimate and speak with a team that values your time and your property. We offer a free written repair estimate and a maintenance check if you are looking to maintain your existing doors before committing to a replacement.
